Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

My experience on that day was extremely unsatisfactory. I was unable to understand the physician, Dr. Flynn, who spent approximately three minutes in the examination room. The nurse, McIntosh, was unprofessional and dismissive; she did not listen to our concerns, relied on scripted responses, and repeatedly raised her voice when answering my questions.
As a result of this experience, I do not wish to have further contact with this nurse. We have since transferred to another clinic, where our concerns were carefully addressed and the treatment plan was explained clearly and step by step.

Terrible nurses. I have never had a worse experience than being here I will never in a million years go back. These nurses do not care you your older kids feelings at all. I would not trust them if my life depended on it but do what you want with you life.

They were no help I went and called over there to get some testing and help them for my autistic son and they said they only do ages up to 3 years old and since my son is 9 he's not qualified it shouldn't matter the kids age they should help them regardless of their little age our taxes paid for those hospitals so our kids should be able to be treated in the hospital if not they should not take taxes money

Amazing, caring and professional team, every single person I meet is always professional, doctors and nurses are caring and professional.

The senior staff members are great like the Nurses who have been around awhile. The younger staff members need more verbal skills. Literally had a nurse walk in and stare at us like a minute and not say anything! Doctors are great and overall we were satisfied but 3 stars is for communication and the lack of it! We had waited so long and was told 3 different surgery time's. To sit there all day and wait without knowing what is going on and how long until they roll your daughter back for hip surgery is very annoying! She was hungry and irritated and in pain for several hours while waiting for someone to figure it out! Not impressed.

I have needed to bring my son her twice both for emergency surgery every time from security to the doctors nurses all staff at this hospital have made what would be an extremely hard and stressful time they made it easy their focus on the smallest of details is above most hospitals I have had gone to.

Hands down the best hospital ever Surgeon DR ELDEN and her team is the best (ent dept)

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia stands out as one of the top medical facilities in the region, boasting an expansive infrastructure dedicated to the well-being of children. The emergency department, in particular, provides exceptional and compassionate care to both young patients and their caregivers. My recent encounter with the hospital left me amazed; as soon as we checked in, they promptly examined my child and initiated treatment. In a matter of minutes, my son began to feel better, displaying increased vitality and alertness.

Despite catering to a large population, the hospital maintains impeccable standards of hygiene and cleanliness. I have every confidence that they will continue their outstanding service to the community.

Отлично работает emergency не каких очередей очень быстро принимают, на высшем уровне.

Don't go if you have welfare insurance. The way they treated my son made me think they go by insurance because my son did not get good care at all night shift was rude I feel like my son was be ignored and neglected nobody really check on him it's like he was suffering there...it literally felt like a prison for children a bunch of nurses that really don't care about other people kids especially if you of color the CNA 's sits around all day doing nothing but flirt with each other ain't nothing but a bunch of young doctors. My experience there was really bad with my child. It felt like I was forcing them to do their job and they will get irritated if you ask them to check on your sick child. They checked on my son every 3 or 4 hours as soon as we left my son got better so was the hospital making my son sicker? If you are of color with bad insurance or no insurance don't even go. But if your a person of color with some decent insurance you might be good. Just don't have health partners or keystone.

Thank you for all that everyone did for Amelia Gallotta

Be careful if you owe these jerks $200, yes $200, while you are sending them money every month for their other overpriced services for your sick child. They'll send their cronies after you who hate you just as much as CHOP does. Meanwhile, deadbeats bills who pay nothing they fall all over to please or pay their bill. Whats wrong here America?. So if you're a good person doing what you should, they hate you. Hey CHOP, why don't you actually try to cure something instead of being part of the problem.

The cardiology department here is incredible. We had great luck in both the CICU and CCU. Our daughter was inpatient for 7 months post and pre heart surgery and they saved my daughters life more than once- even running a code blue on my daughter for an impending cardiac arrest. As scary as that code was, it was handled elegantly and promptly, which inevitably saved my daughter life. This hospital is full of heroes. ESPECIALLY DR. FULLER!

Very friendly staff and amazing doctors. The information desk is very helpful. The front lobby is well designed and honestly fun to be in due to it's design: there is a meandering ramp that goes up several stories with interesting interactive stops on the way. The lobbies on each floor are also all well laid out: they have great views outside and inside were designed with children and comfort in mind. The plaza out front and the cafeteria/Cafe are both relaxing places to recharge.
